South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group COUNCIL SIZE SUBMISSION South Gloucestershire South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group. February 2017 Overview of South Gloucestershire 1. South Gloucestershire is an affluent unitary authority on the North and East fringe of Bristol. South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) was formed in 1996 following the dissolution of Avon County Council and the merger of Northavon District and Kingswood Borough Councils. 2. South Gloucestershire has around 274,700 residents, 62% of which live in the immediate urban fringes of Bristol in areas including Kingswood, Filton, Staple Hill, Downend, Warmley and Bradley Stoke. 18% live in the market towns of Thornbury, Yate, and Chipping Sodbury. The remaining 20% live in rural Gloucestershire villages such as Marshfield, Pucklechurch, Hawkesbury Upton, Oldbury‐ on‐Severn, Alveston, and Charfield. 3. South Gloucestershire has lower than average unemployment (3.3% against an England average of 4.8% as of 2016), earns above average wages (average weekly full time wage of £574.20 against England average of £544.70), and has above average house prices (£235,000 against England average of £218,000)1. Deprivation 4. Despite high employment and economic outputs, there are pockets of deprivation in South Gloucestershire. Some communities suffer from low income, unemployment, social isolation, poor housing, low educational achievement, degraded environment, access to health services, or higher levels of crime than other neighbourhoods. These forms of deprivation are often linked and the relationship between them is so strong that we have identified 5 Priority Neighbourhoods which are categorised by the national Indices of Deprivation as amongst the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England and Wales. These are Cadbury Heath, Kingswood, Patchway, Staple Hill, and west and south Yate/Dodington. In each of these areas a local Partnership Network is co‐ordinating work to ensure local input, and in many areas they are delivering excellent work on the ground, supported by the work of strategic agencies including the Council. 5. The Council takes a role in bringing partners together including the police, health authority, housing associations and services, the fire service, and community groups and voluntary agencies. The Council particularly contributes with modest sums of money, supporting projects in the priority neighbourhoods, coordinating departments and agencies to help work better together, and gathering information on services, initiatives and research locally and nationally to better inform work2. The policy of priority neighbourhoods has already been successful for Filton, which was designated particularly due to high crime figures, but has improved substantially and graduated out of the priority neighbourhood category. Population projections 6. South Gloucestershire is currently experiencing significant housing growth, with a number of large strategic housing developments building out at locations including Charlton Hayes, East of Harry Stoke, North Yate, and Cribbs‐Patchway. Between 2017 and 2023, it is projected that there will be an increase of 19,108 voters across the authority (see Appendix 1) 1 For further reading on the demographics of South Gloucestershire please visit: http://www.southglos.gov.uk/council‐and‐democracy/census/key‐facts‐and‐figures/ 2 For further reading on priority neighbourhoods please visit: http://www.southglos.gov.uk/community‐and‐ living/stronger‐communities/priority‐neighbourhoods/ Role of Council 7. Local Government generally, and South Gloucestershire specifically, is in a period of flux, undergoing many changes at once, which will affect SGC’s role in a number of arenas. 8. Firstly, as laid out in the Council Plan, the change in Central Government finance for local authorities and general government policy indicates a need for the state to step back and to allow the private and voluntary sectors a greater role in delivering services and shaping communities. 9. Secondly, having signed a Devolution Deal, South Gloucestershire will be delegating certain strategic functions around transport, housing, planning, and skills to the newly created West of England Combined Authority (WECA), and sharing other functions in the same policy areas. The Combined Authority will be chaired by the West of England Mayor once elected in May, who will take some decision‐making away from SGC. 10. Thirdly, executive arrangements are likely to transition from a committee structure to a strong leader and cabinet model from March 2017, this will replace the committees taking decisions with individual cabinet portfolio holders. Council Plan 11. In 2016 the Council refreshed its Council Plan, a short strategic document which outlines the Council’s vision and strategy for the next four years3. 12. The essence of the plan is captured in the following quote: “Whilst publicly funded services will play a key role, the contributions from those in the community will become more vital. Over recent years the district has delivered a savings programme of £45m, but we need to go even further and by 2020 we are likely to need to deliver further savings in excess of the currently assumed £34m… the council is now smaller and therefore no longer able to do all that we have previously done.” 13. This signifies a fundamental policy shift. The Council is proactively transforming from a body which is primarily a provider of services through tax‐and‐spend policies, to one which offers those vital services, but which has a much greater focus on acting as a service commissioner, an advocate for the public interest, and a coordinator of other actors. 14. As the Council’s functions reduce it has taken the decision to reduce its officer workforce, it should therefore follow that the number of political ‘workforce’ – councillors – reduces concurrently. Devolution deal 15. SGC will be working closer with neighbouring authorities and the new West of England Combined Authority (WECA) to deliver the West of England Devolution Deal, finally confirmed with Government in February 20174. The West of England area is generally used to describe the area comprising of Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset (BaNES), and North Somerset Council areas. However, after North Somerset voted not to proceed at this stage, the WECA area will comprise only of Bristol City, South Gloucestershire, and BaNES Councils. 3 For the complete text of the Council Plan please visit: http://edocs.southglos.gov.uk/councilplan/ 4 For the complete text of the Devolution Deal please visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/508112/160315_West_of_E ngland_Devolution_Agreement_Draft_‐_FINAL.pdf 16. This Deal involves the transfer of significant funds, powers, responsibilities and competencies from the Treasury, Department for Transport (DfT), the Skills Funding Agency (SFA), Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), and other government agencies to WECA. This will also involve certain strategic responsibilities either moving from the Local Authority to the Combined Authority level, or else being jointly held. 17. Such responsibilities include: Strategic planning and housing delivery, including preparation of a Spatial Development Strategy for the WECA area with associated call‐in powers; Strategic transport policy, including preparation of a Local Transport Plan and Bus Strategy for the WECA area Highways, with responsibility for an agreed Key Route Network (network of identified roads of strategic importance) transferring to WECA; Skills, including feeding priorities into government policy, and commissioning of outcomes from the 19+ Adult Education Budget (fully devolved budget by 2018/19. 18. The West of England has a strong and distinct economic footprint, with 90% of people who live in the West of England working there too. There are almost no public transport routes which begin and end in one authority area without passing through another, and children go to schools across authority boundaries from where they live. As such it is logical for strategic decisions to be taken cooperatively at the West of England level and the first Devolution Deal is the first step on a process which will see more decisions taken in this way. 19. The new West of England Combined Authority (WECA) comprised of the leaders of BaNES and South Gloucestershire Council and the Mayor of Bristol as well as the West of England Mayor who will chair the Board. This will ratify all major strategic policy decisions and steer the devolution process as it goes through further stages. Wider West of England strategy and legacy matters will be considered by the WoE Joint Committee which will replace the existing Strategic Leaders Board. This will include all WoE Leaders, including North Somerset’s and the new WoE Mayor. 20. There will be three components of the political governance reporting to the WECA: 21. Firstly will be the Infrastructure Board, on which will sit the Cabinet/Lead members for Transport, Planning, and Housing. This will consider cross‐boundary strategic matters and develop policy pertaining to public transport, the Key Route Network (KRN), housing, and planning. 22. Secondly will be the Skills Board, which will be made up of the portfolio holders for economic development and skills. It will consider cross‐boundary strategic matters and develop policy pertaining to ensuring a balanced supply of skills to meet the needs of local businesses and exercising

  • Gordon Richard Sydney Haines War Time Memories I
    Gordon Richard Sydney Haines war time memories I was born in Almondsbury Hospital South Gloucestershire on 23 December, 1932. My parents Florence Mabel HAINES and Sydney George HAINES then lived at Box Tree Cottage in the Village of Alveston, Gloucestershire with my sister Jean, two years older than me and my Grandfather, William Ballinger, Mum’s father. Life at home was pleasant; the village was then small and uncomplicated. An outside bucket toilet, no running water, we had our own well with a small pump, no electricity, we used oil lamps and had a coal-burning indoor stove which also provided hot water for the Saturday night bath ! We grew all our own vegetables and had apple and plum trees, raspberry and gooseberry bushes for all our fruit. The fields around provided us with blackberries and mushrooms and there was a small forest named Wolfridge, where the housing estates now exist, providing firewood and adventures for the village boys. My primary education was at the Church of England Elementary School at Rudgeway a mile away over the fields from Alveston but aged 10 I transferred to Thornbury Council School where I took the examination for entry to Thornbury Grammar School on a local council scholarship, at age 11 in 1943 and in September that year began my secondary education. My sister Jean was also studying there. My earliest recollection of doing something as a family was the requirement at the outbreak of war in 1939 for everyone to register at the local council office (opposite the Cross Hands Hotel !) to be fitted for Gas Masks.

  • Free Swimming Pilot for Pregnant Women Launched
    PRESS RELEASE January 2020 Free swimming pilot for pregnant women launched From 1 February, pregnant women living in South Gloucestershire will be able access free swimming as part of a year‐long pilot scheme from the region’s Active Lifestyle Centres. The scheme is being run as a joint partnership between Circadian Trust, the not‐for‐profit organisation operating the Active Lifestyle Centres, and South Gloucestershire Council. The pilot will run for a year, which will be monitored and reviewed, and the findings used to inform any future decision. Swimming is a highly beneficial way to stay active during pregnancy and can be performed safely in all three trimesters. Widely recognised as a low‐impact method of aerobic exercise, swimming provides a more comfortable environment for expectant mothers to maintain their physical health – as the water both keeps them cool and supports the additional weight. In addition, researchers are now discovering that regular aerobic exercise during pregnancy has the potential to improve the mental and physical health of children well into adulthood. To be eligible for the scheme, women will need to present their Maternity Exemption Certificate, supplied by their doctor or midwife, and will also need to show proof of address before their first session. Mark Crutchley, Chief Executive at Circadian Trust, said: “As an organisation with health and wellbeing at its core, we’re committed to making exercise accessible to all. Therefore, it’s an absolute pleasure to be helping women to swim throughout their pregnancies for free. “There are a vast number of benefits to exercising during pregnancy, from maintaining a healthy weight to reducing health‐related complications for the mother and baby – and these benefits can have long‐term effect on a child’s development beyond birth.
